Man could survive a mission to Mars according to NASA scientists who say experiments on board the Mars Odyssey craft prove that humans could endure the planet’s harsh conditions. The results show that radiation around Mars might cause some health problems, but scientists told the BBC humans could survive the conditions. The research from NASA’s Odyssey module, orbiting the Red Planet for two years and sending back information to scientists on Earth, was presented at the annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union in San Francisco.
